Aloha

Opened in 1927, it is the only hotel truly on the Waikiki beach front.

Here's a recipe for the famous Mai Tai cocktail (one of my favourites). Most of the time, someone will gladly make this for you, but just incase...

Mai Tai

serves 4

125ml (1/2 cup) cold water

100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar

2 cups crushed ice

125ml (1/2 cup) white rum

60ml (1/4 cup) amaretto liqueur

60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lime juice

125ml (1/2 cup) dark rum

Method

Place water & sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to boil for 2 minutes or until syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat & set aside for 30 minutes or until cooled.
